It also looked like someone had tried to add a finished ceiling to the bottom of the ceiling joists, as there were boards scabbed onto the beams. I would say they were added sometime after the shop was built.

I only wish that I had that much room and a fireplace in my shop along with the benches and lathe. Then to have the opportunity to work in that environment. Quite a discovery.

Pretty please.

What a great find.

This is eerily close to Bob Lang’s blog post from March 2012.
